Chromosome-associated RNA–protein complexes promote pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

During meiosis, pairing of homologous chromosomes is critical for sexual reproduction. Here the authors reveal in S. pombe the role of lncRNA–protein complexes during the pairing of homologues chromosomes that assemble at specific chromosomal loci to mediate recognition of the pairs.
